5. GROUNDING
•
The generator must be properly connected
to an appropriate ground. It helps prevent
electrical shock if a ground fault condition
exists in the generator or in connected
electrical devices, especially when the unit is
equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding
also helps dissipate static electricity, which
often builds up in ungrounded devices.
DANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Failure to properly ground the generator could result
in electric shocks.
A ground terminal on the frame of the generator has
been provided and can be found on the end of the
generator. For remote grounding, connect a (4 mm2)
length of heavy gauge copper wire between the
generator ground terminal and the copper rod driven
into the ground.
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame
and external electrically conductive parts of this
generator be properly connected to an approved
earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require
proper grounding of the unit. We strongly
recommend that you consult with a qualified
electrician for grounding requirements in your area.
6. BATTERY CONNECTION
(IF APPLICABLE)
Remove the battery maintenance cover, connect the
battery terminal to the motor terminal, and reinstall
the maintenance cover.
IV. STARTING THE GENERATOR
Pull the starter handle 6-8 times to prefill fuel system
before initial operation or removal from long term
storage. Failure to do so could result in bad starting
experience.
1. Perform operating checklist (see page 10) and
remove all loads.
2. Turn the ventilation knob of fuel cap to the
“ON” position to ensure fuel flow.
(Some Applicable Units)
The following are suitable for hand start:
3.
COLD START
Turn the combination switch to “CHOKE”
position to shut off the choke.
WARM START
Turn the combination switch to “RUN”
position, if not started, please turn the
combination switch to “CHOKE” position
before restarting.
4.
MANUAL START
1. When starting engine, grasp the recoil
starter handle and pull slowly until
resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to
avoid kickback. When pulling the recoil
starter, Firmly grasp the generator to
